Who will win, BETTER or BEST?

The Beaumont school district’s opposing groups — BETTER and BEST — faced off in a courtroom Thursday to determine if BETTER’s attorney could depose the organizers of BEST about a controversial flier. BETTER supports a referendum item on the May 14 ballot that would add at-large members to the school board, much like Beaumont’s City Council has. BEST opposes the referendum. Early voting starts Monday.
